Two School Buses
The Blora Regency Government has allocated an operational budget of approximately Rp200 million. The funds will cover driver needs, fuel costs, and school bus service operations.
In the initial phase, free school buses will serve the Kunduran–Blora route with two trips every day, namely dropping off students in the morning and picking them up at school hours.
Each bus unit has a capacity of around 25 passengers and all services are provided free of charge.
"All students can use this service free of charge. We hope the school buses will facilitate safe and comfortable transportation to school," said Sunyoto.
He added that Blora Regency received two school buses from the central government.
Apart from serving the Kunduran–Blora route, another unit has been operating in Kedungtuban District.
Going forward, the Blora Regency Government hopes to increase its budget allocation so that the free school bus service can be expanded to other sub-districts and more students can benefit. (Endah/ IST )
